It is Chris Cleave's fourth novel and will further cement his reputation as one of the UK's leading contemporary authors.In a powerful combination of both humour and heartbreak it weaves history and romance through the vast sweep of WW2 and its impact on the citizens of London. 438 pages.Everyone Brave Is ForgivenChris CleaveScpetre NZ$37.99Publication 26 April 2016.
